j all whom t may Concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Hnos-V KANEN, :t citizen of the United States, residing at Butte, in the county of Silver Bow and State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Lamp-Holders and Candlesticks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in combined carbolite lampholders and candlesticks for miners use. One object is to provide a device of this class made of a single piece of metal and that is of substantial construction, and cheap to manufacture. With the foregoing and other objects in View the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in this specification, pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of the specification.

The drawing is a perspective view of my improved device illustrating its application.

My invention is preferably formed of a single piece of resilient metal having a straight pointed extremity l which is a oontinuation of the handle portion 2 which handle portion is integral with the split ring 3 which is adapted to receive and frictionally retain a carbolite lamp 4. The ring 3 is formed with the lip 5 which is bent back upon itself at 6 and extended along the periphery of the ring 3 as at 7 and then formed with a bulge 8 which, in connection with the ring 3 is adapted to frictionally hold a candle 9. Beyond the bulge 8 the metal is bent back again against the ring as at 10 for1ning with said ring 3 a friction holder for one or more matches 13 which may be inserted between the portion 10 and said rings 3. The material beyond the portion 10 terminates in a hooked extremity 1l adapted to engage with the projecting tip yof a rock or other support to support the device when desired.

rlhe holder may also be supported by jamming the pointed end l into a timber or standard 15% as showin. While the lamp is being replenished with fuel while the opcrator .is at work the candle may be lighted to furnish light until the lamp is again ready.

`Whatl is claimed is:-

l. A lampholder and Candlestick formed of a single piece of material bent to form a handle having one pointed extremity, a split ring formed at the opposite extremity of said handle7 said split ring terminating in a lip which is projected along the periphery of said split ring and then bulged away from said split ring and then bent back into frictional engagement with said split ring and terminated in a hook.

2. A lampholder and candlestiolr formed of a single piece of material bent to form a handle having one pointed extremity, a split ring formed at' the opposite extremity of said handle, said split ring terminating in a lip which is projected along the periphery of said split ring and then bulged to form, in connection with said split ring, a holder, beyond which said lip projection is again bent into frictional engagement with said split ring to form a friction match holder, and a hook terminating said match holder.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own l have hereto affixed my s1gnature in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
